“I am comfortable working with people of every age, from young children to elders, and from a diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Most of the clients I see on a regular basis are working to better handle depression, anxiety, anger, or family problems. While I naturally gravitate toward Cognitive Behavior Therapy, I have an understanding of, and am comfortable using several different modalities that match the clients needs.

“My philosophy in counseling is to help people find relief from pain by using the strengths they have within themselves. I believe through unconditional support, non-judgment, and caring confrontation, therapy can help people find peace within themselves, as well as trust with their partners and families. The benefits can be extraordinary, such as higher self-esteem, self-compassion, and more satisfying relationships.

“Emotions & reactions to stress can impact your connections with others. Have you lost motivation? Do you worry about things all the time? There are many reasons why your days can feel long. Negative thinking, hopeless thoughts, sleepless nights and lack of appetite can be common too. It may not be easy to ask for help, but there are many benefits to participating in therapy. A treatment plan is developed based on what your wants/needs are. How often you attend is up to you and what you discuss is voluntary. All sessions take place in relaxing and safe environment.

I can help, whether you are struggling to rise above childhood trauma or desperate to make peace in your family; as an experienced therapist I will help you find a solution. Some problems are just too big to handle alone, you may feel uncomfortable in the environment of a professional office. Namaste provides counseling services around your schedule in a private office setting, so you can focus on healing.

“Healing the pain from within-relationships are the lifeline to love, joy are happiness. What happens when they become effected by life's challenges, such as pain, illness, depression, grief/loss, or maybe drug or alcohol abuse? If you or a loved are experiencing any of these challenges or something else that is effecting your quality of life, family and relationships, perhaps I can help.

“We often seek medical attention for our physical health when needed but may be reluctant to get help for our emotional health. We know and accept that the mind, body and spirit are interconnected and necessary to live a meaningful and satisfying life but find it still difficult to make that move towards self care. I encourage you to take that step, to be courageous in seeking what you need. I will be here to support and work with you, whether it is dealing with personal, relationship or family difficulties.

“In the 30 years that I have been practicing, I have worked in a wide range of mental health settings, providing services to both children and adults. For the past 20 years I have been in private practice, and my goal is to work along with my clients to assist them in meeting their treatment goals. I provide a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental atmosphere where a client is able to work out their concerns.

“So what is therapy? Ask a hundred therapists and you will get a hundred different answers. For me, I believe it is about connection. As my client, it is not my intent to sit passively listening, but to intently listen to you while attempting to determine what it is you want. People often consider therapy to be "bearing your soul" . I consider it to be an opportunity to have someone listen to you in a non-judgmental manner, free of all the "ought to" or "shoulds". Without outside pressure, we are often better able to hear our own internal voice.

“As a Christian Marriage and Family Therapist, I work within a framework grounded not only in psychology, but also the Word of God. I believe that God has equipped and empowered me to inspire faith and hope, and guide my clients toward more abundant, fulfilled lives. By applying Biblically based principles with complementary therapy approaches and techniques, I will help you unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

“Are you struggling with anxiety, anger, depression, grief or the separation of a loved one? Are you having marital issues, a victim of violent crime, experienced a death of a loved one? Help is here. I am a bi-lingual Hispanic Clinician that helps clients gain insight and develop coping skills, allowing you to gain energy and develop a positive perspective to continue life's journey.

“In my practice, I work with marital issues, individuals, teenagers and families. I also specialize in substance abuse, depression, anxiety and grief. I have been a Licensed Marriage Family Counselor since 1984 and have had a private practice since 1988. In addition, I have also worked with youth and adults in residential treatment and hospitals. Please feel free to call and ask questions you may have regarding my practice style and hours available.

“I strongly believe in the value of the therapeutic relationship and work hard to ensure that you feel comfortable enough to share concerns without fear of judgement. It is through this uncensored and trusting openness that you are free to explore and identify what is troubling you. I help you to identify and label destructive self-perceptions and behaviors. With this knowledge, a plan can be implemented to meet your unique needs so that you can begin to transform yourself and make desired life changes.

“Sometimes life just gets overwhelming. Frustration, sadness, despair and a feeling of being overwhelmed can influence the ability to live life to the fullest and may even impact your ability to deal with life on a day to day basis. These are times when life may seem out of control and unmanageable. You may feel as though you have changed in a way that you don't understand and that your emotions are ruling your life. If you are at this point in life, perhaps it is time to invest in you and your emotional wellness.

“I feel comfortable working with a variety of ages, problems and ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Thirty years of experience makes it easier. You get better at this as you age and gain experience. Most of my clients have problems with depression, anxiety, or family problems. I'm willing to work with one-of-a-kind cases that other therapists reject as "too difficult." I probably see more couples than anyone else in my region, and I've had specialized training for that. Teenagers and older children are welcome. I don't normally treat children younger than eleven years.

“Are you struggling with anxiety, depression or shame/guilt as the result of substance abuse? Are you having trouble sleeping or feeling safe due to experiencing some trauma in your past? Are you struggling with impulsivity or anger issues? Good News! Psychotherapy can help. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for you to come and work through these difficulties in your life. Listening with empathy and compassion are my strengths. I believe every person possesses the inner strength needed to push through the most difficult times in their lives and I am here to help you do that.

“I work with people who are experiencing psychological distress that is disrupting their daily lives. Depression, anxiety, truama and family crisis issues are common reasons people seek my services. I am experienced working with people from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds and embrace diversity in my practice and life. I work with children, adolescents, couples and families.

“Central Valley Center for Community Advocacy offers a sliding scale for individual, children and couples counseling. Fees range from $40 per hour with a (supervised trainee), to $80 per hour for counseling with a licensed therapist.

“It is helpful for all of us to develop the skills that enable us to step back from emotion-laden life events (both good and bad) in order to gain perspective and insight. This allows us to interact optimally with those in our lives who can significantly impact our well-being. Therapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental environment that promotes self-exploration and the development of insight into our own behaviors as well as the behaviors of others. Identifying the potential "whys" behind our actions and reactions can be empowering in the context of personal change and development.

“When we experience life challenges, there may be those times when we feel stuck, alone & don't know how to cope with it! It's understandable that when making the decision to seek professional help for our personal issues it may feel scary or like unfamiliar territory, but it can also be effective when an individual is open and ready to take that first step towards self-care! My name is Sonya C. Serna and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist that provides individual, couples and family therapy.
